Anyone who has followed the 24 posts here knows what I am waiting for -- I want to find out whether or not Josh is Jack's kid. Maybe we will find out tonight when Evil Papa Bauer gets his paws on Josh. The season is almost over so hopefully we will find out soon. I have a question in the comments if anyone wants to take a run at it.

Do you think people watch Jack Bauer because they wish those in out counter-terrorism services were allowed to do the things he does, or do you think they watch because they don't want those in our real life government doing the things Jack does, but it is fun to fantasize about doing such things to terrorists without getting out hands dirty in real life?

i think that many people watch it because it is a compelling drama packed show. Many of the things jack does would be overboard in real life. Over 6 seasons he has established himself as knowing what is right 99.9% of the time and after 6 seasons, to go against jack just seems like a bad idea.

As far as our interrogation, there is no question that we should handle these people roughly, obviously there are limits, but people with the jihad mentality don't deserve to be handled with kid gloves. Nor are they protected by the Geneva conventions Lee!

I want to believe rthat their are passionately patriotic people like Jack willing to die for our country. I have no mercy for terrorists at all. "Torture" means inflcting pain as punishment or to coerce a confession; extracting verifiable intelligence, regardless of the method, is fair game.

Of copurse, I hope that they first ask nicely, but after that...

PS: Tom Lennox has emerged as my second-favorite new character after Morris. Twice tonight he delivered lines with perfect deadpan seriousness.
